Q: Hi guys

Was thinking of consolidating two loosing stocks into one position looking out at a recovery a year or so away. Also looking at how much of a AI moat each stock has. Would you sell VHI and add to ENGH or selling ENGH and add to VHI. Or is there another software stock that you would rather go with and sell both?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: On Jan 19, in a question by David, you stated that both DSG and OTEX did not have a dividend. Globe & Mail has that OTEX does have a dividend. Please advise if you need to correct your response. G&M advised "OpenText Corp. OTEX-T has named former IBM executive Ayman Antoun as chief executive, effective April 20. 2026" Is this a good move by OTEX? Does it change your impression of potential of OTEX?

Q: Can you please provide your analysis of whether AI software developments will negatively impact the businesses of OTEX and ENGH? Both companies seem solid, reasonably well-managed, and pay nice dividends to compensate for their low growth. Should I be concerned that their revenues will decline over time such that my retirement income will be in jeopardy? Should I move on to a more stable dividend payer, for example FTS, that is less likely to be hurt by AI?

Q: I am not particularly proud to acknowledge that I own the above- but I do. ENGH and OTEX are in accounts that are structured for income and some growth, while DSG is in an account that is looking for primarily growth. Canadian traded is key for all. Looking for your input on these companies and whether there are better options that I am missing.
No hurry to reply; deduct credits as necessary.
Seconding the comment today regarding your recent report. Well done and I hope that now you have it you continue to update it as companies come and go. It is a great resource.

Q: Can you please provide your most likely Cdn takeover targets in 2026 and rank them both in terms of takeover likeliness and quality of the company if they are not bought out this year (comfortable holding if a bid doesn't materialize this year).

Q: I sold for tax loss ENGH, EQB, GLXY, MDA, NPI over 30 days ago and contemplating buying them back. Do you think that they have a good opportunity to increase in value in 2026. If so, which order would you purchases them in.

Q: Hello,

You have been a champion of DSG and less so of ENGH.

ENGH provides 5.94% dividend, might be a dividend trap??
Both are down 30% +/- 1 yr.

I would have punted DSG 6 months ago, but didn't, due to your endorsement.

Credibility is important - maybe I'm missing a subtle distinction.

And I made the decision to keep it.

Thank you
Feel free to modify my question re: DSG /ENGH to put you less on the spot. I think it was Buffett who said "if can't handle your equities dropping 50% you shouldn't be in the stock market". I can handle it, but still don't like it.
All the best

Q: Hello, I am looking for a reason to keep my ENGH holdings. It's trading at $19 ( and I paid $31 orignially).

Would a pullback in prices of the massive U.S. A.I. companies affect ENGH's price? I understand that investors are questioning the high valuations of companies like Nividia.

Could a pullback in the A.I. industry valuations create buying opportunities for ENGH?

I am hesistating to sell ENGH at this point because it is profitable, has a good balance sheet, and the dividend is still attractive. But, if management continues to stay on the sidelines for investing its cash for much longer, I am concerned that the stock price will continue to fall.

Q: I need to raise some capital. Please advise in what order you would sell these equities. Are there some you would not sell? I am more of a income investor.

Q: After reviewing past questions on ENGH and CSU (specifically June 19). When you preferred the CSU group of companies over ENGH.
Would give the same recommendation after today’s news regarding Mark Leonard?
Would selling my holdings in ENGH to buy CSU be a good move from your perspective. I appreciate your input.
Thank you, Mike

Q: In reply to Patrik's question about whether he should hang on to ENGH, you said there was not a lot to get excited about here. However, I am excited about ENGH and bought more on Friday's sell-off. Here's why:

1) $5 a share in cash on the balance sheet, with no debt
2) Forward P/E ratio of less than 10 if you deduct this cash from Friday's closing share price
3) Utility-like 5.7% dividend yield while you wait for a turnaround.

I agree that there is a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not ENGH can return to growth, but I would argue that investors looking for income should by buying ENGH at current prices. If growth does return, the stock will pop.

Could you not get just a little bit excited?
